Holding
The Court allowed the withdrawal of the pending applications and directed that a fresh lease application be considered independently of the earlier rejection.
Summary
Hiteshbhai Kashinathbhai Patel filed two special civil applications seeking renewal of a lease granted by the State of Gujarat. The petitioner, through counsel, requested permission to withdraw these applications so that a fresh lease could be applied for under the State's new lease policy. The High Court examined whether the petitioner could withdraw the pending applications without prejudice to a new application. The Court granted the request, directing that any fresh lease application be considered on its own merits within six months and not be affected by the earlier rejection of the renewal. It further clarified that the earlier orders rejecting the lease renewal would not impede the fresh lease application. Consequently, both applications were disposed of as withdrawn.
Issues considered
- Whether the petitioner is entitled to withdraw pending lease renewal applications to file a fresh application under a new policy.
- Whether the earlier rejection of lease renewal should affect the consideration of a fresh lease application.
Subjects
- lease renewal
- withdrawal of petition
- fresh lease application
- state policy
- administrative law

CORAM:HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE NIRZAR S. DESAI
Date : 09/06/2026
ORAL ORDER
Learned advocate, Mr.Param S. Dave, under instruction
stated that he may be permitted to withdraw these petitions
with a view to make fresh application for fresh lease under the
new policy of the State Government.
Permission, as prayed for, is granted. If any application
for fresh lease is preferred, the same is directed to be
considered in accordance with law, as early as possible and
preferably within six months from the date of the application,
without being influenced by the withdrawal of present
petitions.
In view of above observation and direction, both these
petitions are disposed of as withdrawn. It is clarified that
earlier orders, whereby the renewal of the lease was rejected
may not come in the way of the petitioner in being considered
for fresh lease by way of fresh application and the same may
be decided on its own merits and in accordance with law.
